Hmmm....
I wonder how the Hart Steel Razor scales would weigh in on this test?
If I ever drain my wine glass, I'll have to see. 
Oh, by the by, 6gun, those are very nice pictures.

Thanked: 13223 The true test !!!!
This is kinda tuff...
Is it "Shave Ready" ????
Technically yes you can shave with it, there is one problem that won't pass anyone's definitition... Right under the AN in Warranted there is a rough spot.. It looks to me that the razor was raked on the corner of the stone with a little to much angle on an X stroke... The rest of the blade is shave-able but you have to work around that spot...
It did pass the ATG test on the neck first stroke that I use as a true gage. The problem is I have honed to many TI's, I know what the edges are capable of, and this one is not too it's full potential yet... Next question would logically be could I pull the edge into line using just the TI paste and a strop ?????
On this razor NO, without the rough patch I could get it a bit better then it is now.... I still would re-hone it...

Considering those Hart Steel scales are single piece (injection molded), I'd say the chances are good that it would perform well on this test... If it didn't, that would be down right shocking that they would make a mold that poorly.

[QUOTE=gssixgun;471332]interesting that TI calls it a "hook nose" instead of a "Spanish Point"...[QUOTE]
Maybe they should call it the "DeGaulle".
BTW Thats going to kick some serious butt when you are done with it!It is easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled. Twain
